Re: 1972 Medium Olive SWB Driver Build-“Chester”

I spent some time over at my buddy’s house yesterday to get a little work done. The original plan was to start on the rockers and cab corners. Well that didn’t happen. I started sanding on the primer to see what was underneath. Found a little filler but nothing bad and again, this is a beater/driver build. While bs’ing about the paint we decided to run down to the auto paint store and get a spray can of medium olive. We were pretty shocked how well it looked. Might actually do the hood and passenger door with it too. The plan is to sand some of it down for a fauxtina type paint job. Nothing drastic, just trying to match the drivers front fender and will help with blending.

I also started redoing some of the wiring as it looked a little sketchy and seam-sealed the cab drip rail. I will be painting the cab white. Also installed the front bumper and headlights. Overall a pretty productive day.

It’s a shame we only bought one can of paint.
